Uno 5k- Carrera de los Muertos (RACE of the Dead)

Blessons is honored to be invited back into the Pilsen, Chicago community! We are recruiting volunteers to be part of our 2nd year as the beneficiary of the beer tent and volunteer group for the Uno 5k- Carrera de los Muertos (RACE of the Dead) on Saturday, Nov. 4th in PILSEN! To sign up as a volunteer, please email us at volunteer@blessons.org to learn more.

Outreach/Volunteer Event Details:

100% off all tips collected at the beer tent will go towards our mission in providing FREE mentorship, educational and wellness workshops to all women, in addition to providing scholarships for women who are 25 years or older and who had their higher education put on on hold due to challenging life lessons including; cancer, mental illness, physical or emotional abuse, or who are first-generation immigrants.

We are providing volunteers for the beer tent and those who would like to donate their talents as our very own Blessons "Day of the Dead" make-up artists! Last year we collected almost $1000 in tips! Our goal is to double that and raise $2,000 towards giving women second chances through empowerment, education and community engagement!
